“…However, at Capitán Cáceres none of the climatic variables was statistically significant with re- spect to the fluctuation of the species' densities. Maia-Herzog et al (1988) observed an inversely proportional relationship between the abundance of Culicoides and rainfall, and that neither relative humidity nor mean temperature was correlated with the abundance. These findings are similar to the findings in our study.…”

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a viral arthropod-borne disease affecting wild and domestic ruminants, caused by infection with epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV). EHDV is transmitted to vertebrate animal hosts by biting midges in the genus Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). Culicoides sonorensis Wirth and Jones is the only confirmed vector of EHDV in the United States but is considered rare in Florida and not sufficiently abundant to support EHDV transmission. This study used ecological niche modeling to map the potential geographical distributions and associated ecological variable space of four Culicoides species suspected of transmitting EHDV in Florida, including Culicoides insignis Lutz, Culicoides stellifer (Coquillett), Culicoides debilipalpis Hoffman and Culicoides venustus Lutz. Models were developed with the Genetic Algorithm for Rule Set Production in DesktopGARP v1.1.3 using species occurrence data from field sampling along with environmental variables from WorldClim and Trypanosomiasis and Land use in Africa. For three Culicoides species ( C . insignis , C . stellifer and C . debilipalpis ) 96–98% of the presence points were predicted across the Florida landscape (63.8% - 72.5%). For C . venustus , models predicted 98.00% of presence points across 27.4% of Florida. Geographic variations were detected between species. Culicoides insignis was predicted to be restricted to peninsular Florida, and in contrast, C . venustus was predicted to be primarily in north Florida and the panhandle region. Culicoides stellifer and C . debilipalpis were predicted nearly statewide. Environmental conditions also differed by species, with some species’ ranges predicted by more narrow ranges of variables than others. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was a major predictor of C . venustus and C . insignis presence. For C . stellifer , Land Surface Temperature, Middle Infrared were the most limiting predictors of presence. The limiting variables for C . debilipalpis were NDVI Bi-Annual Amplitude and NDVI Annual Amplitude at 22.5% and 28.1%, respectively. The model outputs, including maps and environmental variable range predictions generated from these experiments provide an important first pass at predicting species of veterinary importance in Florida. Because EHDV cannot exist in the environme...

“…In Argentina, Aybar et al [25] found that minimum and maximum temperatures and accumulated rainfall were the best indicators of presence of C. insignis and Culicoides paraensis Goeldi. Rainfall was also demonstrated as important for the presence of C. insignis [26] in Brazil. These studies demonstrate that climate has an effect on the distribution of Culicoides spp.…”

25Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is a viral arthropod-borne disease affecting wild 26 and domestic ruminants. EHD virus (EHDV) is transmitted to vertebrate animal hosts by biting 27 midges in the genus Culicoides. Culicoides sonorensis Latreille is the only confirmed vector of 28 EHDV in the United States but is considered rare in Florida and not sufficiently abundant to 29 support EHDV transmission. This study used ecological niche modeling to map the potential 30 geographical distributions and associated ecological variable space of four Culicoides species 31 suspected of transmitting EHDV in Florida, including Culicoides insignis, Culicoides stellifer, 32 Culicoides debilipalpis and Culicoides venustus. Models were developed with the Genetic 33 Algorithm for Rule Set Production in DesktopGARP v1.1.3 using species occurrence data from 34 field sampling along with environmental variables from WorldClim and Trypanosomiasis and 35 Land use in Africa. For three Culicoides species (C. insignis, C. stellifer and C. debilipalpis) 96-36 98% of the presence points were predicted across the Florida landscape (63.77% -72.53%). 37 For C. venustus, models predicted 98.00% of presence points across 27.42% of Florida. 38 Geographic variations were detected between species. Culicoides insignis was predicted to be 39 restricted to peninsular Florida, and in contrast, C. venustus was predicted to be primarily in 40 north Florida and the panhandle region. Culicoides stellifer and C. debilipalpis were predicted 41 nearly statewide. Environmental conditions also differed by species, with some species' ranges 42 predicted by more narrow ranges of variables than others. The Normalized Difference 43 Vegetation Index (NDVI) was a major predictor of C. venustus and C. insignis presence. For C. 44 stellifer, Land Surface Temperature, Middle Infrared were the most limiting predictors of 45 presence. The limiting variables for C. debilipalpis were NDVI Bi-Annual Amplitude and NDVI 46 Annual Amplitude at 22.45% and 28.09%, respectively. The model outputs, including maps and 49 cannot exist in the environment without the vector, model outputs can be used to estimate the 50 potential risk of disease for animal hosts across Florida. Results also provide distribution and 51 habitat information useful for integrated pest management practices. 52 53

A contribution to the study of simulium and Culicoides of Rio de Janeiro: monthly incidence and biting activity

Abstract: During March 1984 to February 1985, we captured simuliids and biting midges in the National Park of Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. A study on monthly incidence and biting activity and their correlation to air temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall was made.
